Killed the Cowboy

Everybody wanna know, where did all the cowboys go?

Must've been the whiskey, maybe it was all the Marlboros

But it ain't none of that that laid 'em all low

Yeah, believe me, I know

It was that midnight stare

Look in her eyes like a knife to the heart

It was that poison kiss

Cherry red lips, oh my God

Leanin' up against the bar and I know

It wasn't a smoke

It wasn't a drink

And I've got the proof

If you wanna know what killed the cowboy

A girl like you

Mmm, the way she does it, wasn't just another rodeo

Lipstick kiss on the mirror and that was all she wrote

Yeah, it's supposed to be me ridin' away

But I'm dyin' in a bed that she made

It was that midnight stare

Look in her eyes like a knife to the heart

And it was that poison kiss

Cherry red lips, oh my God

Leanin' up against the bar and I know

It wasn't a smoke

It wasn't a drink

And I've got the proof

If you wanna know what killed the cowboy

Ooh, a girl like you

Well, she's off in the sunset

She's out on the run

Bet she's halfway to Jackson by now

And I'm heart-broke to hell

And I'm drowning the well

While I'm telling the bartender how

It was that midnight stare

Look in her eyes like a knife to the heart

And it was that poison kiss

Cherry red lips, oh my God

Leanin' up against the bar and I know

It wasn't a smoke

It wasn't a drink

And I've got the proof

If you wanna know what killed the cowboy

A girl like you
